Big Football Day Checklist - What is Required?

When creating a Big Football day event, you must complete the checklist to 100%:

Note: The Designated Safeguarding Officer is only required if the Big Football Day events include youth/junior participants (any participant under 18). I.e. If it is solely for adult participants, you are not required to add a Designated Safeguarding officer, which would change the checklist to 3 conditions.

1. Accept terms & conditions- FA's terms and conditions.
   
   

2. What type of events do you run?
